After reading a discussion on DistroWatch asking if users were happy with their current distribution, I noticed a common thread of those who have had similar experiences as myself with juggling various Linux distributions. Like myself, they feel many Linux distributions are great, but no one quite feels like home. None of them quite fit the bill and they may even begin to think that every OS sucks.

Thanks very much for your great replies to my silly questions above. I guess I should have figured the answer out for myself. It's a flawed perspective on my part to assume there is a coherent force behind Linux or a coherent "user group" that defines anything for everyone else. I fell into the same trap that people fall into when they see themselves outside of a particular group; I assumed that such a cohesive awareness and sameness existed. I guess that's kind of computer-racist of me, huh? Hah!
